212 Locate RF Devices
Locate RF Devices, this menu is used to locate a device that has been assigned an ID. A device can be located by selecting it in this menu and noting its LED pattern.
213 Remove RF Devices
Remove RF Devices, this menu is used to remove a device from the system. Only a device that has been ID'ed can be removed from the system.
214 RF Devices Options
RF Devices Options is where you can configure the behavior of individual wireless devices.
These 4 sub-menus are dealt in detail for specific devices in pages 12-43.
215 RF System Options
There are 5 sections in the RF System Options sub-menu.
The Supervisory feature monitors the conditions of the radio paths between the panel and end devices.
With Sup. Reports (Supervisory Reports) set to YES you get a fault message if one of those radio paths is broken.
By default, a radio path needs to be broken for 120 minutes before you get a Supervisory Report. To change this time, go to Sup. Time (Supervisory Time) and select any time between 20 and 999 minutes.
You can also activate your internal bell (or siren) if you set Sup. Bells (Supervisory Bells) to YES. Only applies when system is armed. By default this feature is set to NO.
By its nature, an RF-Echo will have a small delay when activating so you might like to silence it during a Walk Test by setting WalkTst Bells (Walk Test Bells) to NO. By default it is set to YES.
RF Jam Detect is a feature that can flag a fault message whenever the radio channel is being jammed.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sup. Reports | YES | Fault message if a radio path is broken |
| Sup. Time | 120 min | Time (20–999 min) before a supervisory report is raised |
| Sup. Bells | NO | Activate internal bell on supervisory fault (armed only) |
| WalkTst Bells | YES | Sound RF-Echo bell during Walk Test |
| RF Jam Detect | YES | Flag a fault message when radio channel is jammed |
Contact Tech. Support if adjusting supervisory signal or jam detect. We advise that these settings be left as per the default settings (i.e. as YES).
216 RF Camera Options
There are 4 sections in the RF Camera Options sub-menu.
Image Size is defaulted to VGA which is 640x480 pixels. If you press YES you can toggle to QVGA which has a lower resolution of 320x240 pixels but has a quicker transmission time.
Color is defaulted to YES. You can select black and white by pressing NO but unless there are specific site-related reasons for choosing black and white we recommend keeping the colour on.
Num Images (Number of images) is defaulted to 3. When the system is armed and the PIRCAM is triggered, 3 snapshots are taken in 1 second intervals. This number can be changed by pressing YES and then pressing any number between 1 to 5.
Live images is defaulted to NO. When YES is selected, you can take a snapshot on your smart phone whenever you want. When you take a snapshot, the RF-PIRCAM's flash will always trigger even if the flash option is set to NO.
Live images requires panel s/w V3.3.4 or higher.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Image Size | VGA (640x480) | Toggle to QVGA (320x240) for quicker transmission |
| Color | YES | Set to NO for black and white |
